I'm thankful... 11-27-08 11:07am CST
that this is the God I serve:

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." Jude 24-25

And that He has blessed me with my little family. I love them.

We don't deserve her! 11-23-08 04:27pm CST
Bumbo Time Happy Traveler New Hat Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Isn't it that way with any blessing from God? Everything we have is so much more than we truly deserve. How it amazes me that the Almighty God has taken notice of us & answered our prayers! How much more amazing is the gift of His Son & the love that it required. I can't comprehend a love like that....but I'm trying.

kendraluluI love the 3rd picture! Happy Thanksgiving!!! :) 
dressednyellaI know how you feel. That's exactly how we feel about Annalise. The Lord's Supper has taken on new meaning for me since having her. I can't even wrap my mind around it. Maya is so beautiful! Parenthood looks good on you and Josh, too. :) Thank you for your sweet note. 
ninaI love all your pictures! Maya is such a doll. What a great blessing and I'm so happy for your family! 
kellydamoni can totally relate to that feeling. i remember looking at my newborn babies and thinking what have i done to deserve this amazing creature? and what makes me worthy to take on this incredible responsibility of raising a human being and teaching them all that they need to know. it's overwhelming. 
holly_annOh my, she is so adorable. What a cute hat!!! I'm glad God blessed you with her. I think you absolutely deserve her :) But I know what you mean. 
mini_lizzieoh emily, you and josh most definitely deserve her! She is blessed to be growing up in a christian home! that makes God happiest of all. :) 
roseofsharonYou and Josh are both beaming. MMMM...I wonder why. :) 
beckylboyerAmen! She is amazing I agree! And so is the Lord!

dressednyellaMaya is just so beautiful! I saw Linsay at my cousin's wedding Saturday! She told me that Maya's middle name is Elise. I love that! In fact, Annalise is actually supposed to be Ann & Elise combined but I just liked the way it looked with an 'a.' Hope y'all are doing great! Are you getting any sleep? 
metcalaI will be singing at the event. I can't wait to meet Maya and to see you and Josh again! 
beckylboyerSo glad you guys had a good visit! Ryan loved talking to Josh too! We miss you guys! That's the bad thing about having other close friends that preach. You know you'll never live close! :)

sweetmelissaSo, is that red hair? Or is it blonde? I can't tell. By the way, SO happy for you two! You will make the BEST parents! 
tandielqI thought you might travel to the Crosby fundraiser. Dana asked if we could come, but I don't see how we can...too expensive. Oh how fun that would be, though, to meet little Maya! Does she have strawberry blonde hair?

kendraluluWhatever is easier for yall. If we get together after services that might be really late for yall to drive home. If we have dinner I could make something here or we can go out to eat.
